Neuro-2a cell
In N2a cells α7345–348A nAChR expression fostered a weak calcium response to (10 mM) choline, whereas expression of α7 nAChRs correlated with noticeable choline-induced calcium transient. Imaging studies in N2a cells expressing α7345–348A nAChRs indicate a significantly lowered calcium signal peak to choline (333.4% ΔF/Fθ ± 35.7%) when compared with N2a cells that express the α7nAChR (peak: 581% ΔF/Fθ ± 122.7%; p = 0.04) (Fig. 4, D and E).

Studies in N2a cells indicate that transfection with α7345–348A yields a similar α7 nAChR expression as the wild-type (α7) and supports the finding that mutation at the GPBC does not impact the synthesis of the nAChR in cells. PubMed:26088141
